• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Life of sexual activity. Don't know what to do?...

Hey guys. I'm 20 years old, got saved when I was 14. Ever since I received Jesus into my life, I continually sought godliness but made a TON of mistakes. I've been in a few sexual relationships in the past several years and I always repented of them and turned away eventually. I've also been involved in a lot of the party lifestyle. A little over a year ago, there was an unrelated event that took place in my life and caused to to walk very far away from God. I began living the dirty life that I had lived before, but this time I was unrepentant. I started drinking more than I ever have, smoking weed, etc.
I got into a relationship with a man who was not a Christian and we started having sex of course. Here's the thing: I love him with all of my heart and I'm having a hard time understanding why having sex with the person you're going to marry is wrong. We don't have sex for personal satisfaction like most couples do outside of marriage. We do it because it's the ultimate act of love and we want to show that to each other. So I'm not sure what to do about this.
Here is my second problem: For as long as I can remember, I've been attracted to girls. I've never had a desire to be in a relationship with a girl, but if I see a hot girl I can't help but think about her. I do have sexual fantasies about them but I'm not a lesbian. I've described it as wanting to make them feel good because they deserve it. That's how I feel. Anyway. My boyfriend thinks it's really hot that I'm attracted to girls and so we've began acting this out in our sex life. My question is, is this wrong? I would never be in a relationship with a girl or fall in love with a girl or anything, I just think they're hot and want them. It scares me a little bit because I don't know if what I'm feeling is wrong, but I also feel a little like I don't care if it's wrong. :/ I can't stop enjoying it...
Help??

Well, you're not going to like the answer. It is wrong. Sex before marriage is wrong. Lust is wrong. Dating someone who isn't a Christian is wrong. And I think you know it's wrong or else you wouldn't be here asking what we thought. Your conscience is nagging at you, saying you should stop, but the sinful flesh enjoys it and will spur you to keep up with that lifestyle.

I hope you can get out of it, but if you don't really want to, then you probably won't. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but you don't seem to care if you stop or not. If you sincerely desire to do things the Godly way, then you will see what you are doing is very sinful and pushing God out of your life. I will pray for you.
